Rejoinder to WKZIC & Working Committee Kuki CSOs by Foothills Naga Coordination Committee

OFFICE OF THE 
 FOOTHILLS NAGA CO-ORDINATION COMMITTEE (FNCC) 
IMPHAL, MANIPUR - 795001

 Date : 07/08/2025

It is imperative to underscore that the ongoing bandh in the foothills region of Naga inhabited areas is not aimed at the Zomi or Hmar-Lushai (Mizo) communities , with whom the Naga people have shared generations of mutual respect, and peaceful coexistence. Our history together speaks of cooperation, not conflict, and that legacy remains intact .

However, this bandh is a direct and unequivocal response to the aggressive, unchecked, and calculated actions of Kuki expansionist forces, particularly those operating under the banner of the so-called WKZIC and Working Committee Kuki CSOs. These groups have chosen the path of provocation, territorial encroachment, and political manipulation, endangering the fragile peace of the region.

Let us be clear: you cannot talk Article 21 of the Indian Constitution or the Essential Commodities Act, 1955, after having brazenly held the entire state of Manipur to ransom for over 27 months by blockading National Highways, disrupting essential supplies, and pushing millions to the edge. Your actions were nothing short of economic terrorism, and you have absolutely no moral or legal ground to now preach about human rights or civil liberties. Do not feign victimhood while being the perpetrator of regional instability.

If the Working Committee, Kuki CSOs blocks NH-2 or engages in any attempt to disrupt the movement of goods and people, every avenue of Naga-inhabited areas will be sealed off to Kuki movement without exception. This includes NH-2, NH-37, and will extend to Peren District of Nagaland and the NC Hills of Assam as well.

 Let it be known : the Working Committee Kuki CSO alone will be held solely responsible for any fallout that arises from their provocations.
